The 14th KIX EAP Webinar will explore the problem of gender inequality in education, an enduring issue that urgently needs to be solved. The webinar is organised by NORRAG, the KIX Europe I Asia I Pacific (EAP) hub and the Gender Centre at the Geneva Graduate Institute.
The webinar will showcase the Accountability for Gender Equality in Education (AGEE) and the Gender Equality Monitoring frameworks, designed for use at national and global levels to support local and global commitments to equality, social justice and sustainable development. The frameworks are designed to be both robust and flexible; this means they are responsive to changing local, national and international contexts and issues, and sensitive to pressing contemporary issues including COVID-19 and the climate crisis. The AGEE project is an equal partnership between universities in Malawi, South Africa and the UK, working with selected UN agencies, bilateral donors and a range of civil society organisations; and has been funded by the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council and their Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
Speakers include education researchers who developed the AGEE framework and international organisations who are using them in practice, as well as funders and gender scholars.
